Police say Morrow arrived at the home, seeking a cat she reportedly abandoned at the residence a week or so prior. Instead of knocking at the door, Morrow allegedly kicked in the front door and punched the male resident in the face. Morrow left before officers arrived.

Santa Fe police were contacted and advised of Morrow's possible destination. Santa Fe police located Morrow and placed her under arrest.
